Epoxide hydrolase is an enantioselective catalyst for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides.[1]
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzymes which hydrolizes 1 μmol (S)-NEPC [(2S,3S)-trans-3-phenyl-2-oxiranylmethyl-4-nitrophenyl carbonate, Prod. No. 04088] per minute at pH 8.0 and 25 °C

The discovery of the metal salen-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of epoxides is chronicled. A screening approach was adopted for the identification of catalysts for the addition of TMSN(3) to meso-epoxides, and the chiral (salen)CrN(3) complex was identified as optimal. Kinetic

Somatic cell-embryo coculture enhances embryo development in vitro by producing embryotrophic factor(s) and/or removing harmful substances from the culture environment. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms on how somatic cells remove the toxicants from the culture medium remain largely unknown. By

Regulation of angiogenesis is critical for many diseases. Specifically, pathological retinal neovascularization, a major cause of blindness, is suppressed with dietary ω3-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3LCPUFAs) through antiangiogenic metabolites of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase. Cytochrome P450 epoxygenases (CYP2C8) also metabolize LCPUFAs
Hello,
I was wondering if you could please let me know the molecular weight of this enzyme from Rhodococcus rhodochrous.
